HELLO PEOPLE! I AM BACK!

Alright alright, I got out of the hospital already. Recuperating at home now. Missed my GP exam, missed an entire week's worth of make-up lectures and tutorials. I am feeling very screwed right now.

People, never get yourself into a car accident - it leaves you traumatised for days and I mean it. Thank God no one was killed. Really.

The accident gave me a humongous swollen right eye. Really, it looked wonderfully fantastic. On the first night, my eye looked like a purple green golf ball, I could barely open my eye. On the point of impact, I crashed forward and hit my head against the dashboard, crushing my oh-so-lovely spectacles. The right lens of my spectacles flew out and cut a neat hole in my head. Blood dripped down dramatically. Really. After calling 995, I actually crawled back into the front seat and flipped open the car mirror to check my wounds. LOL.

My right elbow bled a river of blood and it hurt so badly that I was numbed from the pain already. My knees. AHA. My left knee became swollen with another lovely shade of purple green. My right knee was bleeding another river of blood. Now it's all healed with a big ugly scab, but the muscles are so tight I can't bend my knee properly without feeling pain. And ta-dah -> you have a limping me.

Bruised my ribs as well, but that didn't bother me so much. I got hospitalised for 3 days, in which I went for X-rays after X-rays and scans after scans.

And you know, I got poked with so many needles I think I've more or less gotten over my fear of injections. They have to give me a saline IV drip. At first I was like "Must I put that...?" The doctor nodded. -_- Then... he couldn't find my bloody vein. He must have poked about almost 20 holes in my poor arm. First he poked about 10 holes at my wrist - in out in out in out. No veins located. He opened another new needle and moved on to the crook of my arm, the elbow there. And MAN, it hurt about 10 times more than it did at my wrist. But yeah, about almost another 10 times later he finally found the vein. And because the IV needle is at the crook of my arm, I cannot bend my left arm. You can just imagine how torturous that was.

Oh ya, they had to stitch up the hole in my head (cut by my wonderful specs lens). I totally freaked out when the doctor said they had to stitch. I balked like a little kid. The Operating Theatre is freezing cold. I was shaking like a leaf in the frigid wind on the operating bed. The lights from above glaring down sternly. Scaringly. I made some noise about the anaesthetic. They had to inject the anaesthetic right above my eye, slightly below and beside my eyebrow. I freaked out man. And I kept asking the doctor "Are you sure there aren't any kind of anaesthetic which can be consumed?" The doctor, a female, smiled and said "Nope". And after I made some more noise the doctor said "I'm already giving you the smallest needle." I gave a resigned sign and said "Alright."

But it was so funny. After she cleaned the wound (with some medicine that hurt so badly I wadded the bit of blanket clenched tightly in my hand into a small tight ball) then the doctor announced "I'm gonna inject." I freaked out again and actually moved my head off the pillow and stunned the doc. She was like "Eh! Why you move your head?" Then the nurse had to grab my head and hold it still while the doctor inject the anaesthetic. And she even asked, while injecting "Is it painful?" -_- Duh. Then the area around my wound became numb and she began stitching. 3 stitches. When I got a good look at myself in the mirror after the stitching, those black threads look like an extension of my eyebrow. Albeit an ugly extension.

So yeap, I was hospitalised for 3 days before I am discharged. I'm feeling much better now. My mum is recovering fast too, she has moved out of ICU and is in the normal ward now. Thank God :)

Thanks to everyone who had visited me in the hospital. Thanks to my CG, which flooded my ward on monday. LOL. Thanks to Marc, Em, Talz, Aiysha and Ahmad whom visited me and made me laugh. Special thanks to CL who really took great care of me during this period. Thanks everyone!
